Abstract
A turbocharged ram tornado engine coupled with a jet tornado turbine heat recovery system, a variable speed fluid transmission, and a muffler/water recovery assembly. A combustor provides a source of hot gases which are forced into a tornado form inside an annular chamber housing a first turbine wheel, water is injected in the gas stream, the swirling gases are then passed to a second turbine wheel, via a turbocharger connected to the first turbine exhaust which provides air to the combustor, and a muffler/water recovery system for condensing and recovering water injected into the engine.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1. A turbocharged, ram tornado engine comprising: a first and second combustor jet, a first and second engine case having two annular chambers, and an assembly of a first and second turbine wheel mounted on a first and second shaft for rotation, and fins mounted on said first and second turbine wheels and within said annular chambers to form an air/gas/steam screw to convert the flow of gases exiting from said first combustor jet into a tornado formation thus increasing the speed of said gases to sufficient velocity to create lift on said fins and accelerated rotary movement of said turbine wheels, water injection means connected to said engine case for injecting water into said tornado swirl for creating steam and cooling said gases, transmission means mounted on said second shaft within a chamber inside said engine for transmitting power to an external load, through the medium of a fluid serving also as a liquid balancing and cooling agent for said turbine wheels, turbocharger means connected between said first and said second engine cases for removing exhaust from said first chamber and connected to said first combustor jet for providing fresh air to said first combustor jet, and a muffler/water recovery means attached to said second engine case for removing exhaust, and condensing and recovering water injected into said engine.
2. The turbocharged, ran tornado engine of claim 1 wherein said first and second turbine wheels have an interior chamber formed therein and a wheel slidably mounted on said second shaft, said interior chamber having deflector shields and fins mounted on the inside periphery of said chamber, and being filled with a fluid, and said wheel having rotatable fins adjustable to control forward speed by applying fluid pressure, and reset by return spring pressure, whereby rotation of said first and second turbine wheels drives said fluid at the same RPM as said turbine wheels and thereby drives said slidable wheel at a desired speed.
3. The turbocharged, ram tornado engine of claim 2 wherein said slidable wheel is moved and reset by applying fluid pressure to control reverse speed.
4. The turbocharged, ram tornado engine of claim 1 wherein said muffler/water recovery means comprises an inlet port, a plurality of blades to direct exhaust in a circular motion towards the exterior, an inner chamber with a plurality of walls having a plurality of holes therethrough, said plurality of walls forming a second and third separating and cleaning action and canceling the resonance and noise from said exhaust while providing a backpressure within said engine to facilitate the formation of said tornado of steam to create lift on said turbine fins.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
